Speaker 1: The quest for the three peat has begun.
Speaker 2: Only four teams in Major League Baseball history have won
Speaker 2: three consecutive titles.
Speaker 1: The Dodgers are the favorites to become the fifth. This
Speaker 1: is World Champion Dodger Talk.
Speaker 3: Here we go again, We get right running.
Speaker 4: Back, hosted by Dodgers insider David Bassett.
Speaker 1: Are three in the mix.
Speaker 4: Dodger Talk is brought to you by La County Public
Speaker 4: Works Champions recycled beverage Containers, make the play Recycle Today,
Speaker 4: and by Children's Hospital LA from Colds to Cancer. We
Speaker 4: got things to get in on the show called eight
Speaker 4: six six, not eighty seven two five seven, and be
Speaker 4: sure to follow Dodger Talk wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 4: And now your host, here's Tim Kakes.
Speaker 2: You know, in school, when you're a senior, whether it's
Speaker 2: high school or college, you see the finish line, you
Speaker 2: see the end, and you get senior items. You have
Speaker 2: a tendency to just all right, all right, I see
Speaker 2: the finish line. Let's just get there as fast as
Speaker 2: we can. And well kind of feels like the Dodgers
Speaker 2: have all star itis. The last couple of days is tonight.
Speaker 2: For the second straight night, they give up nine runs
Speaker 2: to the Arizona Diamondbacks on their way to a nine
Speaker 2: too defeat to the Snakes, as they have been outscored
Speaker 2: eighteen to five in the last two nights to an
Speaker 2: Arizona Diamondbacks team that is fighting for a wild card spot.
Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna say they're pushing the Dodgers in
Speaker 2: the division, because nobody is. With the Dodgers up twelve
Speaker 2: and a half games in the NL West, thirteen and
Speaker 2: a half games up on the San Diego Padres, the
Speaker 2: Dodgers are running away with the division and they're gonna
Speaker 2: get right in the second half of the season. But
Speaker 2: these final days before the All Star Break kind of
Speaker 2: feel like senior itis for the Dodgers as they get
Speaker 2: ready to go their separate ways and enjoy a couple
Speaker 2: of days off. You got a contingent of Dodger players
Speaker 2: and coaches going to Philadelphia for the All Star Game,
Speaker 2: including Justin Robleski, yes, who was named as part of
Speaker 2: the National League pitching staff today.
Speaker 3: More on that coming up in just a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2: But it kind of feels like the Dodgers just playing
Speaker 2: their way through these last couple of games, almost like
Speaker 2: spring training games, at the end of the exhibition season
Speaker 2: and before the start of the regular season. Out they're
Speaker 2: going out and they're having quality at bats, there's no
Speaker 2: doubt about it. And the guys are going out and
Speaker 2: trying to get guys out. I don't doubt that. But
Speaker 2: the level of play, the level intensity is clearly different
Speaker 2: than it has been previous three and a half months
Speaker 2: of this season. And this All Star break, this and
Speaker 2: break in general, couldn't come at a better time than
Speaker 2: it is coming up in this next couple of days
Speaker 2: for this Dodgers team. Bill Plunkett as to a couple
Speaker 2: of times to tay Oscar David vas say, let it
Speaker 2: off talking to tay Oscar about this team and what
Speaker 2: has gone on the last five games. And you know
Speaker 2: they're not gonna say it, but it kind of just
Speaker 2: feels like it. And our eyes and ears don't don't
Speaker 2: deceive us. This is a different looking Dodgers team the
Speaker 2: last couple days. Defensively, another air tonight, that's now seven
Speaker 2: airs in the last four games, struggling to push across runs.
Speaker 2: I mean, the Dodgers had a chance in the six
Speaker 2: to get back into the game. You know, a couple
Speaker 2: of hard hit balls don't go their way and an
Speaker 2: RBI single from Pajes and Mookie Betts RBI single. They
Speaker 2: put two runs up in the six, But you come
Speaker 2: back in a six to two game and you got
Speaker 2: three innings to play with, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: it's a seven to two game after the seventh, and
Speaker 2: in two more home runs in the eighth from the Diamondbacks,
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, it's a nine to two
Speaker 2: game that you're having to play into in the final
Speaker 2: couple of innings. It's it's hard to play catch up
Speaker 2: constantly when you're playing from behind, like the Dodgers have
Speaker 2: the last couple of nights, and with the lead they
Speaker 2: have in the division, Hey, it's just human nature. You're
Speaker 2: running away with the division. You've dominated virtually everybody you've
Speaker 2: played in series this year. In fact, the Dodgers tomorrow
Speaker 2: Needa wins so they avoid their first time getting swept
Speaker 2: in a three game series. And with that being said,
Speaker 2: it's the team that has played really good and has
Speaker 2: shown why they are the best team in baseball and
Speaker 2: will be looking to get that three peat this year
Speaker 2: come October. But right here, right now, the final couple of.
Speaker 3: Days before the All Star break. You know, it just
Speaker 3: kind of feels like All Star itis. Eight six six, nine,
Speaker 3: eight seven two, five seventy is the number again.
Speaker 2: The Dodgers fall to the Diamondbacks by a final of
Speaker 2: nine to two, and another day in which the Dodgers
Speaker 2: defense didn't have a clean game.
Speaker 3: Dodger pitchers got touched up a little bit.
Speaker 2: And it's not just you know, giving up a home
Speaker 2: run here or a base hit there, and you know,
Speaker 2: tip your cap to the other team. You can't walk guys.
Speaker 2: That was an issue last night, the free passes. Yamamoto
Speaker 2: had four walks, albeit one of them was an intentional walk.
Speaker 2: I understand that, but then two more walks given up
Speaker 2: by Land and nak He had six walks in the
Speaker 2: game tonight by Dodgers pitchers Yamamoto and Knack. That's just,
Speaker 2: you know, nine runs, nine hits, six walks. You know,
Speaker 2: it's it's not a good recipe when you're doing that
Speaker 2: and constantly pitching out of the stretch.
Speaker 3: And then that sixth inning, you know, it was.
Speaker 2: A leadoff walk on four pitches and then two batters
Speaker 2: later morenos Is singling, and you kind of felt like
Speaker 2: all right, what's gonna happen here? Fly ball out? You
Speaker 2: had two to one, two out? Can Yamamoto get out
Speaker 2: of it?
Speaker 3: And he couldn't. He just couldn't. Tim Tawa the.
Speaker 2: RBI double made it a three to nothing game, and
Speaker 2: then James mccannon with the huge three run home run
Speaker 2: off of Yamamoto. It turned out to be a thirty
Speaker 2: one pitch inning for Yamamoto, whose pitchcount was already high
Speaker 2: by the way throughout the first five innings. He'd only
Speaker 2: get up the one run and was keeping the Dodgers
Speaker 2: in the game, and him and Fought were going back
Speaker 2: and forth in a great pitchers duel, but that pitch
Speaker 2: count was getting kind of high. Meanwhile, Fought had what
Speaker 2: forty nine pitches going into the fifth inning. He was
Speaker 2: very efficient, including a five pitch first inning against the
Speaker 2: top three Dodger hitters in this lineup. So you hope
Speaker 2: you can get through tomorrow with the win if you're
Speaker 2: the Dodgers. And then let's get to the All Star break.
Speaker 2: Let's get off our feet, let's get some rest, let's
Speaker 2: decompress here for a few days. The Dodger All Stars
Speaker 2: will go to Philadelphia and be certainly welcome there and
Speaker 2: get a lot of attention over a couple of days
Speaker 2: there Citizens Bank Park on Monday with all the festivities,
Speaker 2: including the home run derby, which is on Netflix.
Speaker 3: By the way, how about that interesting? It's gonna be
Speaker 3: on Netflix.
Speaker 2: And then you got the All Star Game on Fox
Speaker 2: on Tuesday night before a couple of days off, and
Speaker 2: the Dodgers will start the second half of the season
Speaker 2: in New York on Friday against the Yankees. And it's
Speaker 2: a tough stretch to start off the second half. They're
Speaker 2: gonna be on the East Coast for a while. Yankees
Speaker 2: Phillies Mets the first three series for the Dodgers after
Speaker 2: the All Star break eight six, six, nine, seven, five
Speaker 2: seventy Dodgers Baseball is brought to you by Medello Modello
Speaker 2: the mark of a fighter Ken in Newport Beach. Why
Speaker 2: not start us off on this Saturday night? You got
Speaker 2: All Star itis, Ken.
Speaker 5: I may have first.
Speaker 6: I want to start with a positive's a congratulations a
Speaker 6: Dino uh and uh you know his sons two sons
Speaker 6: now the country after that's really cool, Just a couple
Speaker 6: of little points that maybe some people left out. Let's
Speaker 6: start with something simple, like.
Speaker 5: Loft it. I can't believe I lost everything. Why oh
Speaker 5: four for forties and take me back, that's a batting
Speaker 5: average of one hundred. Munsey's three for eighteen that's one
Speaker 5: sixty six, Freelan two for fifteen that's one thirty thugeand
Speaker 5: and last five games had nine errors, nine errors thirty
Speaker 5: five big left on base had a two fourteen batting average.
Speaker 5: The problem is that Sheenan is the highest era starting
Speaker 5: pitcher at four ninety one, and like you mentioned, they
Speaker 5: then go into the Yankees, Philadelphia and the Mets, so
Speaker 5: maybe not the best time to kind of at least,
Speaker 5: you know, be off as far as they are. But
Speaker 5: I'm gonna give that, you know, all star itis that
Speaker 5: you brought up as a reason sitting has been really
Speaker 5: bad and the air has been really bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's and that's not characteristic of a Dave Roberts
Speaker 2: team the last twelve thirteen years. Here defense getting away
Speaker 2: from them. I mean you mentioned that the airs that
Speaker 2: are piling up over the last five games, another one
Speaker 2: tonight for Max Munsey, the only one of the game.
Speaker 2: But still the defense is something they've always been able
Speaker 2: to hang their hat on. Really good pitching, and you
Speaker 2: know the slug which they've been known for. Ken, I
Speaker 2: appreciate the phone call. We'll talk to you soon and
Speaker 2: thanks for checking in tonight eight six, six, nine eighty
Speaker 2: seven two five seventy. It's just a different looking Dodgers
Speaker 2: team and it's almost like they've kind of hit the
Speaker 2: cruise control here the final couple of days and tonight
Speaker 2: nine more runs given up. Last night, nine runs given
Speaker 2: up in a bullpen game. They've been outscored eighteen to
Speaker 2: five against the Arizona Diamond the last two nights and
Speaker 2: tomorrow Image Sheen on the mound, and I don't want
Speaker 2: to call it a must win game for Image Shean,
Speaker 2: but he needs to turn a corner here. And his
Speaker 2: last start against the Padres, he did pick up the victory,
Speaker 2: so that is.
Speaker 3: Good, but that was his first win in almost two months.
Speaker 2: He has got to go in the break with some
Speaker 2: confidence and with some zeros up on the scoreboard, and
Speaker 2: that to me is something I'm gonna be looking out
Speaker 2: tomorrow and any we win or lose, imit Shean going
Speaker 2: into the break with a positive result for the second
Speaker 2: half of the season starting And I say that because
Speaker 2: knocking on the door to coming back er a couple
Speaker 2: of Dodgers starters. Now one's knocking a little bit harder
Speaker 2: than the other one. Tyler Glass now is throwing fastballs
Speaker 2: in bullpen sessions and that's it. So he's, you know,
Speaker 2: not really knocking too hard on the door to come back,
Speaker 2: but he is knocking Blake Snell through today a couple
Speaker 2: of updowns and his SIM game and if he checks
Speaker 2: out healthy, which he appears he's going to be. He
Speaker 2: talked to David Vassa on Dodgers on Deck and he
Speaker 2: sounded like he was chomping at the bit to get back.
Speaker 2: He is really really looking forward to get back out
Speaker 2: on the mound. It looks like he's gonna go on
Speaker 2: a minor league rehab assignment and as soon as next weekend,
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be about four or five starts for
Speaker 2: Blake Snell, So you're looking at about a month until
Speaker 2: he comes back. Now, next week's the All Star breaks,
Speaker 2: so three weeks after that. So for immit, sheian got
Speaker 2: to start collecting some starts here that show that you
Speaker 2: belong in this rotation when Blake Snell comes back, and
Speaker 2: when even further down the road, Tyler Glass now eventually
Speaker 2: gets healthy because you're gonna have Eric lower in this
Speaker 2: rotation mix. And quite frankly, he's pitched better than Imma
Speaker 2: Sheen has over the last month. And you look at
Speaker 2: Rookie Sasaki's up down starts. I mean, one start it's
Speaker 2: really good, and then a couple of starts it's just not.
Speaker 3: And he needs to get better and more consistent.
Speaker 2: So when you're gonna get two starters back to help
Speaker 2: out this rotation, that means the level of everybody else's
Speaker 2: play has got to be elevator. Else you're gonna find
Speaker 2: yourself not in this Dodgers rotation anymore. When everybody's healthy
Speaker 2: and good to go. Eight six six ninety seven two
Speaker 2: five seventy is our telephone number again tomorrow with the
Speaker 2: final game before the All Star break, mentioned to Tyler
Speaker 2: glassan out throwing fastballs in a bullpen session.
Speaker 1: That was it.
Speaker 2: Blake Snell through two innings of a sim game today
Speaker 2: faced live hitters, and.
Speaker 3: Next up a minor league rehab assignment next.
Speaker 2: Weekend, where that'll be at we'll find out together, but
Speaker 2: also bigger than that. Edwin Diaz, Dodger closer in his
Speaker 2: first rehab appearance tonight out in Ontario for the Tower Buzzers.
Speaker 2: His first pitch of the game ninety six mile an
Speaker 2: hour fastball. Then he was touched ninety eight miles an hour.
Speaker 2: He went one inning, struck out, two, allowed a hit,
Speaker 2: but then a caught stealing into the inning. He threw
Speaker 2: eleven pitches. All right, Sorry, first outing guy's coming off
Speaker 2: elbow surgery, had those loose bodies removed like Trek Skouoble.
Speaker 2: He's a couple weeks ahead of Blake Snell, who had
Speaker 2: the same procedure done to his elbow. Fastball average around
Speaker 2: ninety six one inning, eleven pitches, one hit.
Speaker 3: Two strikeouts.
Speaker 2: You check a box if you're Edwin Diaz, and the
Speaker 2: next time out you're looking to do the same. He's
Speaker 2: not looking to build up. He's not looking to get
Speaker 2: to seventy five pitches. He's looking to pitch maybe in
Speaker 2: consecutive days. He's looking to pitch two out of three
Speaker 2: every three days as a closer for the Dodgers. So
Speaker 2: he looks like he's getting really close to returning, and
Speaker 2: I gotta believe it's gonna be after the All Star
Speaker 2: break at some point, maybe on the road trip. Maybe
Speaker 2: they bring him back for the first homestand after the
Speaker 2: All Star break, but he is certainly getting close. And
Speaker 2: that's gonna be a much new arm to this Dodgers' bullpen.
Speaker 2: And again it's going to cause a roster spot and
Speaker 2: all these spots that have been taken by guys, and
Speaker 2: you know, some of these pitchers have done really good
Speaker 2: jobs and have earned spots on this team. You know what,
Speaker 2: not enough chairs at the at the dance and the
Speaker 2: game of musical chairs here. When these guys start getting healthy,
Speaker 2: and that's when it turns into performance. And how long
Speaker 2: is the leash gonna be for a Sasaki? How long
Speaker 2: is the least gonna be for an Emmitt Shean? If
Speaker 2: they continue to have up and down performances in this
Speaker 2: starting rotation eight six, six, nine, eighty seven two five seven,
Speaker 2: we'll take a time out. We'll come back. We'll get
Speaker 2: to more of your phone calls. We'll hear from the manager,
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts as well as the Dodgers fall to the
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks tonight wasn't pretty. A five run sixth inning give
Speaker 2: it up by Yoshi Noble Yamamoto landing net comes in,
Speaker 2: gives up three runs in three innings of work, including
Speaker 2: back to back home runs to Aeronatola McCann in the eighth.
Speaker 2: As the Dodgers get thumped by the Diamondbacks nine to two,

Speaker 4: Back to Dodger Talk on AM five to seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 2: Dodger Talk continues on this Saturday nights as the Dodgers
Speaker 2: fall to the Arizona Diamondbacks for a second straight night.
Speaker 3: Nine to two is the final.
Speaker 2: They got thumped by the Diamondbacks last night nine to
Speaker 2: three in a bullpen game. Tonight's more of the same.
Speaker 2: Three more home runs for the Arizona Diamondbacks, two of
Speaker 2: which came from James McCann. Tim Tawa, who had eight
Speaker 2: RBIs coming into the series against the Dodgers, had another
Speaker 2: RBI double and an RBI ground out. He's got what
Speaker 2: now six RBIs In the last two nights, he has
Speaker 2: brought his average from blow one blow two hundred to
Speaker 2: now almost over two twenty on this season. In two games,
Speaker 2: he is feasting off the Dodgers and patting his stats
Speaker 2: against Dodger pitching. Brandon Fok gets the win. He's now
Speaker 2: three and one. Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets the loss. He falls
Speaker 2: to nine and six. As the Dodgers lead in the
Speaker 2: NL West. Uh oh, don't look now, it's twelve and
Speaker 2: a half games over the Diamondbacks in the NL West,
Speaker 2: thirteen and a half games over the Padres in the division.

Speaker 2: the phones. Thank you for waiting patiently. Ralph look good
Speaker 2: and Miguel is waiting no more. Ralph, are you doing tonight?
Speaker 7: Yes, sir, thanks for taking my call. I want to
Speaker 7: go down a list of things. Please bear with me.
Speaker 7: David Vessey said that Lawa can be traded, you know,
Speaker 7: as trade bait.
Speaker 5: No way.
Speaker 7: Shean and Sazaki are not major league starting pitchers, definitely not.
Speaker 7: Glassnows out three months with backspasms. Usually three weeks with
Speaker 7: back spasms, not three months. Gavin Stone, he had surgery.
Speaker 7: He was out a year and a half. I think
Speaker 7: he pitched one inning or two innings in spring training.
Speaker 7: He's down four months. The Milwaukee Brewers are a better
Speaker 7: team than the Dodgers. The Dodgers need to win the
Speaker 7: buy three rounds of the playoffs, not the division, in
Speaker 7: the Western Division. It's to buy against the Brewers. They
Speaker 7: didn't get to buy last year. They didn't have to buy.
Speaker 7: They didn't have the best record against Toronto in the
Speaker 7: World Series. I know they went back to back World championships,
Speaker 7: but the Dodgers are not a better team than the Ruis.
Speaker 7: And I can see the Dodges choking down the stretch.
Speaker 7: August is September. I don't care who's on the team.
Speaker 7: You know, with this pitching staff, the relief pitches are
Speaker 7: like they give up runs every time they're in the game.
Speaker 7: Climb Stewart, you know, you know, even Scott can melt down.
Speaker 7: Sazaki can't be in the bullpen. He'll vaporize the league
Speaker 7: in a jiffy. So I know, I want to know
Speaker 7: what your thoughts are. What about Gavin Stone? Why is
Speaker 7: he down four months and the only pitched one time
Speaker 7: is free training after being out of a year and
Speaker 7: a half. What about the Dodge and medical store.
Speaker 3: He's clearly hurt.
Speaker 2: It's not the medical staff. I appreciate the phone call, Ralphi.
Speaker 2: I let you say what you're going to say there.
Speaker 2: I appreciate the phone call. Gavin Stone two years ago
Speaker 2: was a guy who carried this Dodgers team. I mean,
Speaker 2: Gavin Stone was somebody who they relied upon every five
Speaker 2: days to go out there and throw and be the
Speaker 2: guy that was twoenty twenty four, but then got hurt
Speaker 2: right before the playoff run. And remember twenty twenty four
Speaker 2: is when they use the bullpen the most because of
Speaker 2: the lack of starting pitching. Gavin Stone is still coming
Speaker 2: back from his surgically repaired right shoulder, and he's not
Speaker 2: anywhere close to being better and most likely not going
Speaker 2: to be a part of this twenty twenty six Dodgers team.
Speaker 2: Eric Lower could be a great piece to trade, no
Speaker 2: doubt about it. But the one thing I will agree
Speaker 2: with you upon is Tyler Glass now in the back spasms,
Speaker 2: taking a lot longer than a lot of other backspasses
Speaker 2: to come back from. Blake Snell loves Snell Zilla. I
Speaker 2: know him and Dave were close, but the reality is
Speaker 2: he was hurt, came back one outing, got hurt again,
Speaker 2: had the elbow surgery, and let's hope that clears it
Speaker 2: all up. But he does have a history of injuries
Speaker 2: the last few years. When he's healthy, there's no question
Speaker 2: Blake Snell is really good, there's no argument there. But
Speaker 2: when he's healthy, and he just hasn't been healthy in
Speaker 2: this year. He's made one start, So you've got to
Speaker 2: rely upon Eric Lauer, and you've got to rely upon
Speaker 2: Justin Robleski. He who gets, by the way, rose to
Speaker 2: the occasion when asked upon this year to be part
Speaker 2: of the starting rotation, so much so he's got double
Speaker 2: digits wins and now go into the All Star Game
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia on his birthday, by the way, on Tuesday.
Speaker 2: That's that right there, as a guy taking the opportunity
Speaker 2: like a Gavin Stone did two years ago, and even
Speaker 2: more so for Robleski taking an opportunity and running with it. Now,
Speaker 2: when Blake Snell comes back, assume when he stays healthy,
Speaker 2: that means somebody in the rotations the odd man out.
Speaker 2: Is it Lower Sasaki Imagean. If I had to make
Speaker 2: the decision right now on July eleventh, my decision is
Speaker 2: either Sasaki or Imagean. Probably Imagean is the odd man
Speaker 2: out of the rotation. When Blake Snell comes back healthy,
Speaker 2: well down the road, when Tyler glasnow is healthy, hopefully
Speaker 2: hopefully again, this is the longest back spasms for a
Speaker 2: starting pitcher to be out right now, and hopefully he
Speaker 2: can get back to being healthy and where he was.
Speaker 2: But it's it's a little concerning when he's been out
Speaker 2: this long because of that. But okay, let's assume he
Speaker 2: does come back and he's healthy. That's another spot in
Speaker 2: the rotation that he gets and somebody's out of a
Speaker 2: job and has got to go back to the rotation
Speaker 2: or become a closer at some you know part of
Speaker 2: the season. Is that Roki Sasaki or Eric Lower. Now,
Speaker 2: if I had to make the decision right now, Lower Sasaki,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with. Lower is gonna be in the rotation. Still,
Speaker 2: the guy was really good last year for Toronto, did
Speaker 2: not have a good start of the season, so much
Speaker 2: of the Blue Jays lost faith in him and traded
Speaker 2: him to the Dodgers. He's now and now four quality
Speaker 2: starts in a row, that six innings of work. He's
Speaker 2: been the beneficiary of run support, no doubt about that.
Speaker 2: But he's pitched really well. And in my mind, if
Speaker 2: you're gonna look at him or Sasaki, I gotta go
Speaker 2: with Eric Lawer. I feel a little bit more comfortable
Speaker 2: out there right now, right here on July eleven, Now
Speaker 2: things could change. Get a little confidence going with him
Speaker 2: and she and rookiees Saki. Who knows what's gonna happen
Speaker 2: in a few weeks. Again, Blake Snell's not anywhere close
Speaker 2: to coming back. It's four to five weeks. Tyler Glassnew
Speaker 2: is even further behind him. So the Dodgers are gonna
Speaker 2: need Sasaki and Shehan and lower even past the trade deadline.
Speaker 2: I mean the trade deadline's August third, is is Blake
Speaker 2: Snell gonna be back before that?
Speaker 3: That's that's what four weeks So that's kind of right.
Speaker 2: On that timeframe of how many starts he needs before
Speaker 2: he can come back into this rotation. So there's still
Speaker 2: a lot of moving parts. It's it's July eleventh. We
Speaker 2: got one more game before the All Star break.
Speaker 3: So much is gonna change.
Speaker 2: I mean, let's not look at this team right now,
Speaker 2: in this rotation, right now and say this is it.
Speaker 2: Lock it in, this is the final answer, this is
Speaker 2: the roster. They gotta submit pencils down. Test is over.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, things are gonna change.
Speaker 2: Hey, guys are gonna get hurt somebody that we're not
Speaker 2: even thinking about.
Speaker 3: Something's gonna happen. It's baseball. It happens.
Speaker 2: Who thought Will Smith would be out this long from
Speaker 2: sleeping on his neck wrong in Arizona a month and
Speaker 2: a half ago.
Speaker 3: I sure heck didn't.
Speaker 2: Things happen eight six, six, nine eighty seven two five seventy.
Speaker 2: The good thing is the Dodgers have been so good
Speaker 2: and are so deep. It's been next man up Dalton
Speaker 2: Russians did a nice job filling in for him. Tommy
Speaker 2: Edmonds come back from an injury and played really well.
Speaker 3: They've been able to.
Speaker 2: Get guys off their feet and get days off for
Speaker 2: a Kyler Tucker Kyle Tucker here or a Mookie Bets there.
Speaker 2: He had Tuesday off and got off his feet, a
Speaker 2: day off for Freddy Freeman. I mean, guys are getting
Speaker 2: opportunities to get off their feet, and that is certainly
Speaker 2: a good thing. Now, are you concerned about the last
Speaker 2: couple of days? Five games in a row. The Dodgers
Speaker 2: just haven't looked right. The last two in particular, have
Speaker 2: really stuck out to me. I mean, last night's nine
Speaker 2: runs given up by the Dodgers' bullpen was not normal.
Speaker 2: It is not something we were accustomed to tonight, a five
Speaker 2: run sixth inning given up by something we are certainly
Speaker 2: not used to seeing, because it hasn't happened this year.
Speaker 3: Six runs given up by Yama.
Speaker 2: He's only done that one other time in his career
Speaker 2: in the big leagues, So we're not used to seeing that,
Speaker 2: and I don't like seeing it.
Speaker 3: And I don't like what I've.
Speaker 2: Seen the last two nights from this Dodgers team on defense.
Speaker 2: So hopefully they can get right tomorrow and then you know, decompress,
Speaker 2: you know, get off their phones, and come back charge
Speaker 2: ready to go. After the All Star break, let's hear
Speaker 2: from the manager Dave Roberts after another disappointing nine to
Speaker 2: two loss to the Arizona Dialbacks tonight, What did you.
Speaker 4: See in that sixth thady from yamamoil?
Speaker 8: Why things trying to go sideways on avenue, you know,
Speaker 8: trying to recount that inning. Well, I think overall, you know,
Speaker 8: he wasn't a sharp I think that you know, the
Speaker 8: four walks or the three walks, and then the one
Speaker 8: intentional walk. You know, the homer from mc can was.
Speaker 8: I mean it was a two seamer in off the
Speaker 8: plate and got beat on it, but strong enough to
Speaker 8: you know, get out of the ballpark. So very unique.
Speaker 8: Obviously it changed his line score from a quality start
Speaker 8: to you know, not a great start. But I think that, yeah,
Speaker 8: there were some walks in there. There was you know,
Speaker 8: the bounding ball, there was some first or third situations,
Speaker 8: the bounding ball, and then the gone first base with
Speaker 8: two outs, the ball gets stuck in stuck in the
Speaker 8: left field corner. He scores from first, which is very
Speaker 8: rare and unique happens. Still had a really really, really
Speaker 8: good first half. I think just overall it was just
Speaker 8: I don't know, it's obviously with the hitting, when you
Speaker 8: don't hit. It seems like it's lackluster, no energy, but
Speaker 8: it was. It was a clunker. You know, I think
Speaker 8: that we just haven't played, you know, the last three
Speaker 8: out of five something like that games. It just hasn't
Speaker 8: been clean baseball, all right.
Speaker 3: There's a manager. He said it himself.
Speaker 2: It was a clunker tonight, and they just haven't playing
Speaker 2: the same baseball the last four or five games.
Speaker 3: He's right.
Speaker 2: We talked about it last night. We echoed it again tonight.
Speaker 2: David Vasey's asked Teoscar Hernandezad. He just asked Dave Roberts
Speaker 2: that in his press conference. Yeah, this is just a
Speaker 2: different looking Dodgers team, and you can call it All
Speaker 2: Star itis. I don't know what it is, but they
Speaker 2: look different on defense. They don't have that same energy
Speaker 2: all the way around. And you know what, when you
Speaker 2: got as big as lee as they have, you can
Speaker 2: get away with it for a few games. You certainly
Speaker 2: don't want it to continue. And you'd like to go
Speaker 2: into the All Star Break on a winning note. And
Speaker 2: again I mentioned it earlier for Immachian. You'd like to
Speaker 2: certainly go in with some positive results and some zeros
Speaker 2: on the scoreboard going into your final start and then
Speaker 2: the All Star break for the second half of the season.
Speaker 3: Isabelle in Anaheim.
Speaker 2: Isabelle, I read your text last night about the dot
Speaker 2: When did the Dodgers turn into the Giants? I was
Speaker 2: very popular. Dodger fans thought that was very funny and
Speaker 2: it was great to see you yesterday. I had a
Speaker 2: brewery in Anaheim.
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was nice seeing you too. I am frustraded
Speaker 9: with this team.
Speaker 10: I know it's too lust it's it's ridiculous to no reason.
Speaker 10: They used to be losing to your Arizona. I don't
Speaker 10: care you didn't be losing to your Arizona.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I am very trashing they do with the team. This
Speaker 9: is no excuse him Stali.
Speaker 3: Did you think they got All Star ititis? Isabelle? Did
Speaker 3: they they got All Star ritis?
Speaker 9: I don't know, but somebody guys can need the Dodger
Speaker 9: lost room with the Dodger phone and I got to
Speaker 9: the team my wedding. We live being to Dave right now.
Speaker 9: It's the team that need to bring it.
Speaker 3: I think they. I think they.
Speaker 2: It was a little good talking to from Isabella and Anah.
Speaker 2: I think that would be a good thing to get
Speaker 2: a little MOV motivation from you. So all right, well,
Speaker 2: we'll talk to you tomorrow after the finale. Hopefully the
Speaker 2: Dodgers can get back on track and head into the
Speaker 2: All Star breakofs.
Speaker 3: It's the momentum they basis. They still ups now, Oh no, no, no,
Speaker 3: you'll be okay.
Speaker 2: It's the guy twelve and a half game lead, Isabelle.
Speaker 3: It's okay, They're gonna win the division.
Speaker 2: It's just it's just the dark days of the All
Speaker 2: Star break right in front of you. It's staring here
Speaker 2: right in the face is a Belle. It's right there
Speaker 2: in front of you, and you can't do anything but
Speaker 2: not look away from that bright son of Cabo and Hawaii.
Speaker 2: Whoever these guys are going for.
Speaker 3: The All Star Break.
Speaker 7: No, I know, I know.
Speaker 9: Well, Lestend, well, we'll talk tomorrow tomorrow before the.
Speaker 7: Game the.
Speaker 3: Dodgers loose to the Diamondbacks ninety to two. Again.
Speaker 2: Want to just shout out Dino Ebel and his family
Speaker 2: congratulations on their son Trey getting drafted today number twenty
Speaker 2: five overall by the Milwaukee Brewers, one year after his
Speaker 2: son Brady was drafted in the first round by the
Speaker 2: Milwaukee Brewers. So how about that his two sons drafted
Speaker 2: him back to back years in the first round by
Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Brewers. I know that is certainly something that
Speaker 2: is very exciting for he and his wife. So congratulations
Speaker 2: to Dino Ebel and his entire family on having his
Speaker 2: son Trey drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers.
Speaker 3: And there's a video out on social media. I retweeted it.
Speaker 2: It's out there, you can see it from the Brewers
Speaker 2: that the moment that Trey got drafted, Brady was playing
Speaker 2: catch with his minor league team that he's currently playing
Speaker 2: with and couldn't have been more happy for his brother
Speaker 2: and facetimed him and very emotional. Very cool to see
Speaker 2: that with the Evil brothers now playing for the same
Speaker 2: team the Milwaukee Brewers drafted in back to back a year.
Speaker 3: So that is very exciting, by.
Speaker 2: The way, as cool as today was, and it was
Speaker 2: for so many young men who were selected in the
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball Draft. From Rock Schlowski from UCLA drafted
Speaker 2: number one by the Chicago White Sox. UCLA had four
Speaker 2: players taken in the first four rounds.
Speaker 3: I mean, that is so great to see a.
Speaker 2: Lot of young kids have their dreams fulfilled getting drafted
Speaker 2: local kids, high school players, college players, all seeing that
Speaker 2: happen in their names called by professional baseball team.
Speaker 3: I can't imagine what it's like.
Speaker 2: It is a dream come true, no doubt for all
Speaker 2: these young men, but for the Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred,
Speaker 2: to be on the podium in Philadelphia and to announce
Speaker 2: the Chicago White Sox first pick in the draft, number
Speaker 2: one overall and mispronounces Rockchilowski's name, calls him Rock Chialuski.
Speaker 3: How is this possible? It's not like it was the surprise.
Speaker 2: It's not like it's the fourth round and it's some
Speaker 2: young man who you've never heard of, who's got a
Speaker 2: long last name. That's very confusing, and you didn't practice it,
Speaker 2: nor do you have the fonetic spelling of it. This
Speaker 2: guy's been talked about for a year. Since last year's draft.
Speaker 2: He has been the projected number one overall pick out
Speaker 2: of UCLA. Had a great season for John Savage at UCLA.
Speaker 2: Has been talked about since December when the White Sox
Speaker 2: got the number one pick in the draft lottery, that
Speaker 2: he was going to go to the White Sox.
Speaker 3: How do you mispronounce this guy's name. It's embarrassing.
Speaker 2: Imagine the commissioner of base doing this, and then the
Speaker 2: other commissioners around football and basketball mispronouncing the number one
Speaker 2: overall picking their respective sports guarantee, that's not happening. Somehow,
Speaker 2: Rob Manford messed it up. Thankfully, a lot of people
Speaker 2: didn't hear it in the Chilowski family as they were
Speaker 2: too busy celebrating and very emotional and crying there in Chandler,
Speaker 2: Arizona as they celebrated rock on number one overall to
Speaker 2: the Chicago White Sox.
Speaker 3: All right, that's gonna do it for Dodge Talk tonight.
Speaker 2: Many thanks to Colin Ee, thanks to all you Dodger
